im am updating very soon and asked a while ago if my Asus V3800(TNT2 Model 64 32MB graphics card would work on my Asus A7V8X mobo, the manuel states that it only supports AGP card that use +1.5V and i am not sure if my Graphics Card is 1.5V or 3.3V.....

i wrote to asus about this and they told me to check my PCB version. how can i check the PCB version, I wrote to asus asking this and they havent replyed.

thanks in advance

That board is protected against a 3.3 volt card, It will not boot. According to some sites I just looked at it may or may not be 3.3

"All true AGP4X cards are able to operate on 1.5Volt signalling. AGP2X and AGP1X cards support 3.3Volt signalling as well as 1.5Volts. In fact, many of these older cards operate at 3.3Volts only. A number of cards have been identified that have the 1.5 Volt notch, but are actually 3.3Volt cards. These are:

- some nVidia Riva TNT2 cards
- all nVidia Vanta, Vanta LT cards
- all SiS 6326, SiS 305 cards
- all S3 Savage4 cards up to, but not including revision 3.0
- all 3dfx AGP Voodoo 3, 4, and 5 boards (officially non-AGP 4x anyway)
- some nVidia GeForce2 GTS/Pro.
